Hadith #599
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُوسَى بْنَ طَلْحَةَ أَنَّ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا عَرَضَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي مَسِيرٍ فَأَخَذَ بِخِطَا
مِ نَاقَتِهِ أَوْ بِزِمَامِ نَاقَتِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَخْبِرْنِي بِمَا يُقَرِّبُنِي مِنْ الْجَنَّةِ وَيُبَاعِدُنِي مِنْ النَّارِ قَالَ تَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَتُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَتُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ وَتَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ

It was narrated from Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin man accosted the Prophet ﷺ while he was traveling and seized the nose-rope or bridle of his camel and said: O Messenger of Allah — or: O Muhammad — inform me of what will bring me closer to Paradise and farther from the Fire. He said: 'Worship Allah without associating anything with Him, establish the prayer, pay the zakat, and maintain ties of kinship.' Then he released the camel.
